Summary:
The Wallkill Central School District in New York operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's schools demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.
Wallkill Senior High School is the district's top-performing school, ranking in the top 25% of New York high schools and maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, the elementary schools show more varied academic results, with Ostrander Elementary and Plattekill Elementary outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math, while Leptondale Elementary lags behind.
The district's spending per student also varies, with John G Borden Middle School spending the most at $21,290 per student, but not necessarily achieving the best academic outcomes. This suggests the need to examine how resources are allocated and utilized to support student learning across the district. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate at Wallkill Senior High School and the varying percentages of economically disadvantaged students across the schools highlight the importance of addressing equity and access to ensure all students have the support they need to succeed.
